Films about relationships

L

LDS

So I am working on my first "Feature Film" idea and as I have never been in a relationship myself... (dont ask - Im a bit different human being) I want to watch some good comedy, drama films about real life couple, relationships, something smart and clever with meaning?... anyone?
 
For your first feature, at about what age group are you looking to cast for?

50/50 is nice.
Love & Other Drugs wasn't too bad.
Brokeback Mountain and The Kids Are Alright might be a stretch for a debut project, but Transamerica ain't too bad.
Amelié might also be a bit much.
Pecker.
For scifi-lite try Never Let Me Go.
Henry Poole Is Here and Bella are two of my goto fave little movies about relationships.
Before Sunrise and Before Sunset are worth watching.
Zack & Miri Make A Porno ends well.


Probably are some good reference films in this list, as well:

Go out and get into a relationship!!! Make yourself vulnerable, fall in love, fall out of love, get hurt...

Don't you have any friends? If the answer is "yes" then you have relationships with them. How about your family?

Your best creative output is rooted in real-life experience.

BTW, 90% of films are about relationships on one form or another.

Anyway, here's a few decent RomComs:

When Harry Met Sally
The Shop Around the Corner
You've Got Mail (Which is a remake of The Shop Around the Corner")
Music and Lyrics
It Happened One Night
Moonstruck
Sleepless in Seattle
Knocked Up
Definitely, Maybe
Hitch
Arthur
Maid in Manhattan
Groundhog Day
Working Girl
Love Actually
Crazy, Stupid, Love

watched 50/50 last night - man... THANK YOU! I have a friend going through Breast Cancer... and really... this film made my eyes wet... eh... :cool:
 
If you wanna cry, go Korean. American stuff usually stinks in comparison.

Last one I watched was A moment to remember.
 
Most of these aren't Rom-Com but other kinds of films about relationships

Home is Where the Heart is
Blue Valentine
Annie Hall
Manhattan
Midnight in Paris (or pretty much any WA film)
Serendipity
10 Things I Hate About You
The Break-Up
 
well I meant more like... Love problems... trouble in relationships... etc... not much of the Happy Ending love stories...
 
@ZenSteve - I visited the link present at the bottom of all your posts, you know, "Bloody Bloody Bible Camp?" I was curious as to whether or not this was a project you were involved with. It looks very cool!
 
Donkey punch is a great love film......;)

Btw I doubt anyone who hasn't experienced love could produce a realistic film about love.
 
I have an idea for a feature which is about a writer, who was tasked to write a drama about relationships but.....

Meh I'm gonna stop there. Don't wanna give it away. :D
